Washington, Nov. 29.?Senator J. K. Foraker made It clearly known today thut he will contest the'Ohio delegation to the Republican national convention with Mr. Taft. This de? cision is contained in a letter to Con? rad J. Mattern, vice president of the Ohio Republican league, who for? warded Mr. Foraker a copy of the resolutions adopted by the advisory and executive committee of the league endorsing Mr. Foraker for the senatorship and for the presidential nomination which was made public today. He defends his course In re? lation to the passage of the railroad rate bill and insists that the necessity of the railroads of the country to spend millions of dollars annually In Increasing their facilities make this a bad time to hamper the roads in any unnecessary way by legislation. Senator Foraker says he is grati? fied by the endorsement of the com? mittee at this time because It Is a flat rebuke to the statement that the office of United States senator Is to be strip? ped of all honor attached to it. On this point Mr. Foraker says: "I do not want to even appear to be a candidate for two offices at the same time and therefore forego the double honor proposed and with heartfelt appreciation accept the sup? port for the presidential candidacy which the committee has so gener? ously tendered. "Nevertheless, I want to say that far beyond anything personal to my? self I am gratified by the action tak? en because It is a flat rebuke to the suggestion that the office of United States senator Is to be stripped of all the real honor attached to It by making Its Incumbent a mere agent to register the decrees of somebody else, Instead of the representative of a State, charged with the constitu? tional duty of legislation according to his best judgment for the welfare of a great nation, accountable to hie constituency for his acts and votes, but tq nobody else. ? "I not only stand for the broad principle involved, but also stand ready to submit to my constituents for their Judgment my action in the three Instances when I was unable to agree with the president "My motion on the question of Joint statehood and in the Browns? ville matter, your committees have approved, as I believe the great ma? jority of Republicans do everywhere. There are doubtless many who yet criticize my vote on the rate bill, If the assurances with which my mall is filled, coming as they do from every section of the country, are not misleading, the number of these crit? ics is diminishing. "When the national committee shall have Issued the call for the next national Republican convention I shall have Issued the call for the next shall, as heretofore announced, for? mally request the State central com? mittee to embody In Its call for the next convention a requirement that all delegates to that convention shall be chosen by a direct vote of the Re? publican electors of the State at duly authorized primary elections."
